    £44.80 from extra work, £30.13 from avon, £1.85 from quidco and £209.11 from ebay sales! Thats £285.89 to add to my total - at £340.79 so far with a little bit more to come :j pleased as missed my target last month.

    thank goodness for 2 free listing weekends, cleared out one of my boxes with decent stuff to ebay haha! hope theres another free listing weekend soon as have a second box ready and waiting, this time I'm going to stagger listings tho, 15 ending on one day was a nightmare parcelling and posting it up, how people sell on a bigger scale I'll never know haha!

    Had a good one tonight.. quiz master in the local:beer:
    Free drinks all night & buffet... I didn't really take advantage.. hic! :rotfl:

    Seriously though as I was plied with voddy & coke all night. I think I will count that as £15 as I would have spent that at least for a night out!!
    Plus £12.83 from ebay sales.
    Have a few more things listed and will keep going with them but, like kayels, I think it is best to stagger them. Should attract more people too as I guess most people check out other items for sale when they see something they are interested in.
    Might not make my total for the month, but strangely enough have had fun trying!

    Well done to everyone so far!

    Well, just got WEM! From Walkers! Yay! finally won a £10, now to win the iphone with Lucozade!

    Also sold DS' old highchair to a friend, she was around today and asked me if he still used it, which he doesn't, so she bought it for £15! :j And she took it away today. Also bought a tank top that I had, was trying to sell on ebay £2.50.

    Her husband is going to stop her coming round! She always spends money when at my house, but she gets things discounted! I don't charge her what I would like to charge other people.

    Also have PCone survey :D, so that will be another £3.... :j

    Get down sofa and on bedroom floor, sure to find some loose change there ;) well done on the fab target :T Going for gold aren't you hun, how much left on the debt to shift before end of New Year?

    I declare early at NAFF ALL this month :o I've got some stuff lined up and some listings on all nice and ready to land at the beginning of next week (deliberately so I could get it to end in November, I know that's cheating but hey ho :D ) nothing big price wise, I seem to have ran out of stuff to sell lol

    I did sell a few bits in free ads today which I couldn't shift on ebay, managed to get more then I would have on there anyway :p

    Good luck all, final push for October to all those trying to get the last few quid in :T
